Best mates Mum has worked at the arsenal for the past 20 years as Finance advisor for the board, And she often hears alot of gossip in transfers and usually knows if a rumour is bullshit or not, anyway she told me yesterday that we made attempts to either sign Lansbury or Eastmond on loan but they were both rejected. She said there was a reason behind it but refused to tell me, I often ask about chamberlain but she tells me very little, Yesterday all she said to me was that she isnt so sure a move will happen. i asked why again but she wouldn't tell me. its not much gossip but atleast it shows that we are active in the transfer window, for those who chose not to believe this then dont. But i've often known interactions between the clubs before its been released. I.e the foward payments of the theo walcott deal and the loaning of james shea last season.
I think it is probably standard to phone around the top clubs to see if they want to lend us any of their youngsters. Lansbury was excellent for Norwich last year and I think he will return there.
Wouldn't surprise me that Wenger has a had a 'strop' over us not being grateful enough to offload Oxo to the Gunners. To me, he is a very petty individual.
